Leger and the clowder are back and have their hearts set on putting the infamous Harvey behind bars. They are taking shifts to watch him around the clock but it seems someone else is too. When Leger, delirious and heartbroken after Ginger's latest bombshell, finds himself at Billy Johnston's house in the middle of the night looking for Harvey, he witnesses a truly disturbing crime about to be carried out. The only thing that stops it from happening and chases the perpetrator away is the sight of Leger's Shadow on the wall. Leger finds himself conflicted and overwhelmed at this turn of events when the man he was so desperate to put behind bars in recent months suddenly becomes the victim. All the while, he uncovers secrets, lies and devastating truths, culminating in the departure of two of this series' most beloved characters.
Lacey Dearie is a writer from Ayrshire, Scotland. She has lived her whole life in the Ayrshire countryside and sets many of her stories in this area, or in the places where her extended family live.
On leaving school in 1995, she chose an entrepreneurial career path, which later led to a job in book-keeping before working for over a decade as a paralegal. She also ran a small perfumery for a short time and has worked as a mystery shopper since 2007, partly because she likes the glamour of being a spy, although it's actually super boring and there's a lot of paperwork involved.
She returned to study in her 30s, undertaking a BA in Arts & Humanities with the Open University in Scotland, where she gained a distinction in creative writing. She has also studied Comparative and World Literature with Harvard's online program, Harvard X and History of Religion, specifically magical beliefs in the Middle Ages with the Universitat de Barcelona.
Since 2002, she has written for a variety of publications, both in print and online. She is the author of 39 cat sleuth novellas, 2 chick-lit novels, 3 stories about sexually active foods and a blog named Rock Paper Spirit. She has also written a Chaka Demus and Pliers tribute musical, just to pass the time.
She has been an associate member of the Cat Writers Association since 2018.
Great read. After the attack on one of his humans, our cat detective is determined to find something that will ensure that the culprit ends up behind bars. Watch as he organises surveillance to get what he needs. However what he does get throws him and his crew into a tailspin. What should they do? Should they catch the culprit? Great little plot and I love the way that a kitten leaving home is treated. Stunning.
